Chapter 20 Something went wrong
"Ma'am, the aunts are all menstruating, and the old slave has ordered to go down and restore the previous rules." In Qingfengyuan, Mrs. Zheng was leaning on a soft couch, with a small table in front of her, and a booklet on it.

If there are other people around, the booklet must be put away, and it doesn't matter if Mother Kang is close by.

"Useless stuff!" After closing the booklet, Mrs. Zheng frowned, obviously upset.

Not only because the concubines had their menstruation, no good news came out this month, but more because of troubles.

The fact that Mrs. Zheng is in charge of Zhongfu means that she has a lot of power in her hands. Except for Mother Kang, no one else knows that she uses the monthly rules of everyone in the mansion to lend money every month.

Although the first room is not there, people are still inseparable there. The second room followed some out, but there are quite a few left behind. In addition to the third room, the money gathered together is not a small number.

It is only a short-term loan if it is taken out, and it can be recovered in the same month, and interest can also be obtained.

Naturally, all the money she got went into her pocket.

She has been in charge of Zhongfu for the past two years, and there has never been a problem, but this month has not been so smooth. Someone borrowed a large sum of money and has not yet paid it back.

It seemed that the day of issuing monthly regulations was approaching. In addition, Zhang Luo's second uncle Shen Xu's birthday also required a lot of money.

That's all, the key is the interest that should be earned, and there is a shortage this month, the other party refused to pay it according to the original document, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to admit that it was bad luck.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" As soon as Nanny Kang entered the room, she saw the brochure in front of Mrs. Zheng, and seeing that her face was not very good-looking, she knew that there might be some problems with the loan.

"Don't mention it!" Mrs. Zheng sighed, and told Nanny Kang very upset.

"Seeing that it's time to issue the monthly routine, I've never been punctual in normal times, let alone now that my second uncle is back, there are no mistakes."

"How dare I make a big fuss because I can't get the money back now?" Even Shen Pei didn't know about Zheng's monthly loan lending, so of course she didn't dare to make a big fuss.

"Send someone to remind you again?" After thinking about it, Kang Momo gave her an idea.

"Why haven't you been urged? I have been urged more than once, but there is still no movement, Mammy, I am not at ease, please help me find a way."

The rest of the people were turned away, and only Mother Kang was left. Mother Kang frowned, thought for a while, and tentatively said, "If not, I can only use your private money."

The interest money for the past two years has all gone into Zheng's pocket, so she should have money in her hands.

It's just that Mother Kang doesn't know how much money she has in her own hands.

"How can I have any private money in my hand?" Speaking of this, Zheng's face became even more ugly.

Mother Kang looked surprised, and then suddenly said, "You... have you paid for it?"

Mother Kang is Zheng's dowry mother, so she naturally knows about her subsidizing her natal family.

Although she came from the Zheng family, Mother Kang was even more sympathetic to the Zheng family, and often advised her to keep some for herself, not to make up for it all.

Mrs. Zheng agreed, but she still didn't keep it for herself. Mother Kang sighed, and her face turned ugly.

"Otherwise, there is only one way." After a long time, she finally opened her mouth, but she hesitated in her heart.

"What way?" Mrs. Zheng looked at her. Mother Kang had followed her for many years and had given her many ideas.

"Find something to pawn, first settle the matter in front of you, and then redeem it later." She said what she was thinking, and Zheng's brows frowned even deeper.

"That's easy to say, but... what do you take it for?" The Zheng family used to be a family, but it has been passed down for several generations, and the family has long since been emptied.

When Mrs. Zheng got married back then, it looked like she carried a lot of dowry, but in fact there was nothing in it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been relying on them to subsidize them all these years.

"You are in charge of Zhongfu, and you hold the key in your hand. We don't have any good things at hand, but there are a lot of things in the first room and the second room."

"Right now the big house is not here, and there will be no one to check the warehouse. You can pick one or two items and fill in the holes in front of you first. As for later, before the big house comes back, you can settle this matter, and it will be over."

This is the best way that Mother Kang can come up with right now, she dare not think about the second bedroom, after all, the second bedroom is there, but the eldest bedroom is not, so it is the best target.

When she said this, Zheng was speechless for a while, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was thinking seriously.

"Let's do it like this." After a while, Mrs. Zheng responded, making up her mind.

The master and servant never thought of looking for Mrs. Zheng. After all, no one should know about lending money on a monthly basis.

The matter was handed over to Mother Kang. Anyway, Mrs. Zheng is the master, so it is impossible to do such a thing in person.

Furthermore, let others do things, and if something really goes wrong, at least it can be pushed out.

Mother Kang knew it herself, so she was naturally careful and careful, but as soon as she left Shen's residence, someone told Shen Yunlan about it.

"Let someone keep an eye on it to see which one they went to, and write down the name." After getting the news, Shen Yunlan ordered.

The one who worked for her was Cang Zhu, one of the second-class maids sent by Aunt Fang.

A few days ago, she asked Aunt Le to find out the personalities of the maids in Changxin Garden, and then report it to her.

Cang Zhu has a hot temper, but is extremely careful, and she is very popular among the maids, which is exactly what Shen Yunlan needs, so she entrusted her with the task of keeping an eye on Qingfengyuan.

Cang Zhu was very happy to be able to do things for the master, and Shen Yunlan promised that when the matter was done, she would be brought to serve her and become a big maid, and she devoted herself even more.

She is a child of a family, and her parents both work in the mansion. She grew up in the mansion since she was a child, and her popularity is very good, so it is very easy to ask someone for a favor.

Before in Jinhuayuan, Shen Yunlan and Shen Yunjin discussed dealing with the Zheng family, which was another matter.

After returning to Changxin Garden, she remembered another incident, so she made two preparations.

After Cang Zhu receded, Shen Yunlan took out the copybook and continued to practice calligraphy.

"Girl." Ding Xiang came in from the door and leaned over to the desk. Aunt Le was not here at the moment.

Shen Xu returned to the mansion, and the two stewards around him also came back. Shen Yunlan gave Aunt Le three days off so that she could reunite with her husband.

Since you want to employ people, in addition to using people where they should be used, you have to learn to win over and make them more willing to do things for you.

For Aunt Le, what she wants most right now is to be reunited with her husband, and Shen Yunlan satisfied her.

With the convenience given by her master, she will naturally devote herself more, and her man is by her father's side, so of course she will devote herself even more to them.

Shen Yunlan heard Lilac's voice, but when she practiced calligraphy, she never raised her head, so she just responded.

"Girl!" Seeing that Shen Yunlan didn't look up at her, Ding Xiang was a little anxious, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to grab Shen Yunlan's pen...

 Going to see Hu Ge!hope everything is fine!
